“…The decrease in eggbeater kick performance during fatigue could be attributed to the water polo player being unable to maintain the speed of the feet and/or maintain an optimal movement pattern and orientation of the feet. Second, the excessive repetitive use of the eggbeater kick motion has been referenced as the cause for lower limb injuries such as patellofemoral syndrome 8,9,10 , chronic overuse injury in the knee 11 , adductor muscle strains or tenosynovitis of the extensor longus tendon 12 . Understanding the amplitude and range of motion of independent joint motions and how it changes with fatigue is critical to developing therapies 13 and interventions that may minimize adverse fatigue effects and target fatigue responses.…”

Eggbeater-kick performance decreases with fatigue. Inability to maintain foot speeds and hip and ankle actions with progressing fatigue diminishes the ability of the player to produce vertical force during the cycle. Increased internal rotation of the hip when fatigued and the large eversion/abduction of the ankle during the cycle may be predisposing factors for the prevalence of patellofemoral pain syndrome observed among eggbeater-kick performers. Appropriate training interventions that can limit the effects of fatigue on performance and injury risk should be considered.

“…However, there are several categories of water sports in water, on water and underwater. While each aquatic sport has different disciplines and rules depending on the types of sports being contested [4], aquatic sports are less well-known in terms of injury history and injury patterns associated with the sports.…”

In recent years, aquatic sports (AS) have become more popular, especially for those who enjoy the adventurous sports activities. However, the AS have the possibility of injury, although the activities are performed in the water media. This study aimed to determine the musculoskeletal injury profile and incidence among AS athletes in Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) from 2018-2020. A total of 62 staff and students who are AS athletes participated in this study. The injuries of athletes were assessed based on the type, location and cause of injuries within the last two years of competition events or training sessions and through an online survey method by Sport Injury Reporting Questionnaire. The AS were swimming, kayaking, canoeing, dragon boating, and rowing. The study recorded 102 injury cases in total. The results showed muscle cramps were the most common injury, followed by abrasion contusion and muscle strain. The most common body location injury specifically in swimming was the shoulder injury, followed by forearm, hip and thigh. In addition, overuse and chronic were the highest injury causes, followed by poor paddling technique and low level of strength and only a few of the respondents reported a lack of proper warm-up and cool-down. These findings revealed the injuries probably occurred in the upper body, which was caused by overuse training and inappropriate technique, particularly in swimming strokes and boating. These findings may be useful when developing future training program that aims to prevent sport injuries in aquatic sports.

“…3 However, despite the relative high frequency of traumatic SN formation, their formation has not been correlated with swimming. 4 We report on a very rare case of an adolescent with acute onset of back pain during strenuous monofin swimming. There are no reports in the literature regarding the occurrence, imaging follow-up, and outcome of symptomatic acute SN associated with monofin swimming.…”

Study Design This case report describes an acute Schmorl's node (SN) in an elite monofin athlete during exercise. The patient presented with severe back pain and leg numbness and was managed successfully with conservative treatment. Objective The aim of our communication was to describe a rare presentation of a common pathological condition during an intense sport. Background Swimming is not generally considered to be a sport activity that leads to spinal injuries. SNs are usually asymptomatic lesions, incidentally found on imaging studies. There is no correlation between swimming and symptomatic SN formation. Case Report A 16-year-old monofin elite athlete suffered from an acute nonradiating back pain during extreme exercise. His back pain was associated with a fracture of the superior L5 end plate and an acute SN at the L5 vertebral body with perilesional bone marrow edema. The pain resolved with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and bed rest. The athlete had an excellent outcome and returned to his training activities 6 months after his incident. Conclusion SN should be considered in the differential diagnosis of severe back pain, especially in sport-related injuries. SNs present with characteristic imaging findings. Due to the benign nature of these lesions, surveillance-only management may be the best course of action.
